We have Messrs Cosgrove-Hall, of Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester, to thank for Chorlton the Happiness Dragon and his crazy adventures in Wheely World. My favourite character is Fenella the wicked witch, who lives in a giant kettle called Spout Hall, and speaks like Jones the Steam on acid… Three series and a Christmas special (40 episodes in total) were produced between 1976 and 1979.
